“I think what you’re reacting to is that, at the moment, Biden is an unpopular president seeking a second term while Trump is a popular figure inside his party who is winning primary races. I wouldn’t necessarily compare the two.”

Yup, great for lobbyists, wall street, and the military industrial complex.
Like Biden.
Progressives have killed the democrat party.
but when you look at actions in his control (outside of congress), biden has been one of the most progressive, pro union democrats in recent history
I’m trying not to bring it up because I don’t want just a sprawling argument about everything, but after Biden “union busted” the rail workers, his labor department kept working the issue and got the workers their sick days anyway. Like a lot of the quippy little criticisms, “union busting” has a lot more to do with cherry-picking one event people are familiar with and trying to create a Biden-is-bad picture out of it, than it does with reality.
Or to put another way every year Biden’s been in office, union membership has risen by a tiny amount, after having fallen by a tiny amount every single year that the last guy was in office. If he’s trying to do union busting he’s doing a pretty shitty job at it.
He codified, in law, that they couldnt strike, and then made private one time not codified deals with the owners after the fact.
It isnt cherry picking, it is observing the whole truth and not chomping at the bit to spout Democrat spin.
I remember in 2022 when Biden passed the 1926 Railway Labor Act(PDF link).
